The Red Shoes

She tore off her stockings, but the shoes had grown fast to her feet. And dance she did, for dance she must, over fields and valleys, in the rain and in the sun, by day and night. It was most dreadful by night. She danced over an unfenced graveyard, but the dead did not join her dance. They had better things to do.

The Red Shoes ~ Hans Christian Andersen

Urgh for the love of god, since when did DA make it so hard to find a fucking category for a picture?! Blah, tell me if you guys can think of a better one lol

The scanner made her come out a bit yellower than she is meant to be :S because in the orginal, although i did use yellow, its very subtle. But there must be a setting somewhere I can change to make that better.

I just LOVE art nouveau, plan to do lots more in the style. I was considering giving it a border...not sure. I started it, then tried to rub it out...so the orginal is basically ruined now T_T
